Nordi Mukiele won three out of four Bundesliga games with the Werkself in March. A 4-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, with the Frenchman scoring to make it 2-0, was followed by a 2-0 defeat to Werder Bremen, a 4-3 win against VfB Stuttgart and a 3-1 victory against VfL Bochum. Mukiele was in the starting line-up in the three wins and he also played 45 minutes in the second half against Werder Bremen.
Black and Red fans can vote for Mukiele now up to Sunday, 13 April (23:59 CEST). In addition to the Bayer 04 defender, the other nominations are former Werkself player Nadiem Amiri (Mainz 05), Michael Olise (Bayern Munich), Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig), Nico Schlotterbeck (Borussia Dortmund) and Robin Hack (Borussia Mönchengladbach).
Bayer 04 have the second highest number of awards in this category amongst Bundesliga clubs with 13 won so far (second to Borussia Dortmund). Florian Wirtz has the most awards as a player with the Leverkusen playmaker already winning the trophy six times, which is more than any other Bundesliga player.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen have extended Abdoulaye Faye’s contract by a further year to 30 June 2031. During the 2026/27 season, the talented defender will play for Celta Vigo on loan without an option to buy. The 21-year-old Senegalese is set to feature in La Liga and the UEFA Europa League with last season’s sixth-placed side in Spain.
